Thanks for any suggestions!

You mean like a girl who fights but doesn't have magical powers? Just a straight up superhero? I'm kinda missing how she's a magical girl if she doesn't have powers.
In case you don't know, Puella Magi isn't Japanese, it's (supposed to be) Latin. If you knew this before, ignore me. :x
My question:
Can someone translate "Puella Magi Madoka Magica"? I know what it means, but I'd like a brief explanation of how the words work. A literal translation, if you will. So, puella is girl, magi is magician, Madoka is just a name, and magica is magical. Is the title literally Girl Magician Madoka Magical? Switched around to make sense in English, it's Magical Magician Girl Madoka, which still seems really weird. Seems really Didn't Do the Research to me, maybe someone could check me on this? Did the creators really just screw up Latin, or did I?
